I appreciate that.
One of the reasons authorizations can take a long time is if there's not a lot of alignment between, say, industry, the department and affected indigenous communities. If that work was done in collaboration and in advance of applying for an authorization, it would likely help to streamline the authorization process.
I think there's a question about how much DFO would accept alternative negotiated solutions between industry and affected indigenous groups that don't quite follow the act but lead to good environmental and social and economic outcomes. I don't think we're anywhere close to out-of-the-box alternative thinking like that.
